Studio: international art (62.1914)

American Art at the Anglo-American Exposition

superb water-colour impressions which only his
amazing vision is enabled to comprehend and
record with such precision and such masterly
technique, and Mr. Pennell, who shows a large
number of his well-known lithographs from the
Panama, the New York and the Philadelphia series,
we certainly look to find represented here ; but one
did not know, or had lost sight of the fact, that
work by Mark Fisher, Gwelo Goodman, Henry
Muhrman, and Jacob Epstein might appropriately
be classed as British-American.

Besides good work by the men just mentioned
there are in this section a number of lithographs and
etchings by Whistler, some of the excellent pen-and-
ink drawings by Abbey, whose large decorative
picture, The Duke of Gloucester and the Lady Anne
(which if we mistake not was the fine work, exhibited
at the Royal Academy in 1896, which gained him his
Associateship), represents his painting; etchings
by Donald Shaw MacLaughlan ; paintings and

charcoal drawings by Frank Mura ; lithographs and
pastels by J. McLure Hamilton, who also shows
three interesting paintings, one a portrait of Mr.
Gladstone in his study and two of Mr. Pennell.

Space does not allow of detailed mention of a
great number of the admirable works exhibited,
but especially noteworthy are the delicate drawing
Study of a head by Louise de Rosales, Elizabeth
Nourse's clever water-colours, the etchings of
Clifford Addams and some interesting paintings by
Inez Addams, particularly The Death of Lucrece and
the very beautiful Daphne ; also the lithographs of
Albert Sterner and in particular his Amour mort, a
Pierrot mourning his dead love.

The room reserved for the American Society of
Illustrators contains work in a branch in which
artists across the Atlantic unquestionably excel, and
their robust illustrative and decorative magazine
work can well support comparison with the best
that is being done anywhere at the present day.
